About the Item
A gilt and lacquered wood Buddha statue from Southeast Asia most likely Northern Burma, circa 19th century. The Buddha is depicted as seating on a plinth throne in an "Adamantine" position (Vajrasana), with his legs crossed and the soles of both feet turned up (also known as double lotus position in China). His hands are held in "Bhumisparsha mudra", a popular iconography of the seated Buddha in Southeast Asia that means "calling the earth to witness his steadfastness". The style of this Buddha image is commonly known as the "Shan Style", characterized by a serene facial expression with downcast eyes, a typical bell shape usnisa (turban) on the head and tightly rendered curled hair.
The wood construction is visible from inside the base. The surface was lacquered in red and further gilt with gold leaves, with much still remained. Many areas such as the knees, shoulder and back show rubbing and loss of the gilt, result in a beautiful, aged patina.
A beautiful example of the iconography from that part of world and the practice of the Buddhism worship.
